Butte County building inspectors shall ensure compliance on-site. 3. Mitigation Measure #3 (Waters of the U.S.): To the extent practicable, the discharge of dredged or fill material into “waters of the U.S.” shall be avoided (this also includes waters not subject to USACE jurisdiction, but subject to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) jurisdiction. This includes avoiding activities that would obstruct the flow of, or alter the bed, channel, or bank of any intermittent or ephemeral creeks. If complete avoidance is implemented, no further measures are necessary. If complete avoidance is not practicable, a no net loss of wetlands policy shall be employed and the appropriate permits (i.e.; Section 404 permit) shall be obtained prior to recordation of the final map. In addition, the project applicant shall obtain a Section 401 certification from the RWQCB, as necessary. The project shall comply with all permit conditions and employ best management practices and measures (established by the USACE and other regulatory agencies) to minimize and compensate for potential impacts to any jurisdictional waters or habitat areas. Furthermore, the following measures shall be implemented: 1) Prior to any discharge of dredged or fill material into “waters of the U.S.” authorization under a Nationwide Permit shall be obtained from the USACE. For any features determined to not be subject to USACE jurisdiction during the verification process, authorization to discharge (or a waiver from regulation) shall be obtained from the RWQCB. For fill requiring a USACE permit, water quality certification shall be obtained from the RWQCB prior to discharge of dredged or fill material. 2) Prior to any activities that would obstruct the flow of, or alter the bed, channel, or bank of any intermittent or ephemeral creeks, notification of streambed alteration shall be submitted to the CDFG and, if required, a streambed alteration agreement shall be obtained. 3) Construction activities that will impact “waters of the U.S.” shall be conducted during the dry season to minimize erosion. Appropriate sediment control measures to protect avoided “waters of the U.S.” shall be in place prior to the onset of construction and shall be monitored and maintained until construction activities have ceased. Temporary stockpiling of excavated or imported material shall occur only in approved construction staging areas. Excess excavated soil shall be used on site or disposed of at a regional landfill or other appropriate facility. Stockpiles that are to remain on the site through the wet season shall be protected to prevent erosion (e.g. silt fences, straw bales and/or covered). 4) Loss of wetlands shall be compensated at a minimum of a 2:1 creation ratio (i.e. two acres created for each acre destroyed). This can be accomplished through purchase of appropriate credits at a USACE approved mitigation bank, appropriate payment into a USACE approved in-lieu fee fund, or on-site or off-site creation, monitoring, and maintenance (as approved by the USACE or RWQCB). 5) Loss of “other waters” shall be compensated through purchase of appropriate credits at a USACE approved mitigation bank, appropriate payment into a USACE approved in-lieu fee fund, or through placement of avoided waters and associated riparian buffers into a conservation easement or similar protective mitigation The amount of avoided waters and riparian buffers to be permanently protected shall be sufficient to offset the impact and shall be determined by the USACE and the applicant during the permitting process. 6) As required, any monitoring, maintenance, and reporting required by the regulatory agencies (i.e. USACE, RWQCB and CDFG) shall be implemented and completed. As required, all measures contained in the permits or associated with agency approvals shall be implemented. Plan Requirements: Vegetation removal, grading, road construction, or other earthwork shall be in compliance with state and federal regulations. If avoidance of wetland fill cannot be achieved, then the project shall comply with all permit conditions and employ best management practices and measures (established by the USACE and other regulatory agencies) to minimize and compensate for potential impacts to any jurisdictional waters or habitat areas. Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be satisfied prior to any development activity or the issuance of any grading, building, septic, or well permit, or the approval of any improvement plans on the parcels. Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services and Department of Public Works shall ensure that appropriate permits, if required, from state and federal agencies have been obtained prior to recordation of the parcel map. At the time of septic, well, or building permit application, the Development Services Department will reference this requirement on any grading, building, septic, or well permit site plans and verify the requirements of the state and federal regulations, if required, have been completed and submitted to the Director of Development Services. Butte County building inspectors shall ensure compliance on-site. 4. Mitigation Measure #4 (50’ No Disturbance Setback from Streams): Show/Depict on a separate document, which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet, a “50-foot No Development Area” along seasonal streams. Plan Requirements: The recorded parcel map must show the 50’ no disturbance setback around the vernal pool/seasonal wetlands sites and seasonal streams. Timing: The requirements of this mitigation measure shall be adhered to at all times. The note shall be recorded prior to final map. Monitoring: The Planning Division and the Public Works Department shall ensure that recorded parcel map identifies vernal pool sites with 50’ setbacks. The Department of Development Services shall ensure that the note is placed on all affected building and site plans. 5. Mitigation Measure #5 (Protection of Vernal Pools during Construction): Prior to land disturbance, a development barrier around seasonal swales and vernal pools shall be established. A “no disturbance” buffer zone (50 feet) shall be established around the vernal pools/seasonal wetlands and clearly identified. During construction activities, the vernal pools/seasonal wetlands and seasonal swales shall be protected with the installation of storm wattles, silt fencing or other sediment catching materials, along with orange construction fencing designating the outer limit of the 50-foot buffer zone to prevent disturbance of these areas. Plan Requirements: No. development is permitted within 50’ of vernal pool sites/seasonal wetlands as depicted on the final map. Timing: The requirements of this mitigation measure shall be adhered to at all times during development/land disturbance. Monitoring: To avoid sediment or other materials from building up along the protection measures, the sediment or other materials will be removed way from the protected area routinely and/or prior to a storm event. 6. Mitigation Measure #6 (Pre-construction Surveys for Raptors): If construction activities occur between March 1 and July 31, preconstruction surveys shall be conducted. A pre-construction shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to the construction activities during the early part of the breeding season (March – April) and no more than 30 days prior to the initiation of the construction activities during late breeding season (May – July). During this survey, the qualified wildlife biologist shall inspect all trees in and immediately adjacent to the impact area for raptor and migratory bird nests. If the survey does not identify any nesting raptor species on or near the construction site, further mitigation is not required. If any raptor species are found nesting on or near the construction site (within 500 feet of construction activities), the following shall be implemented: Prior to the disturbance, grading or construction, the project applicant, in consultation with California Department of Fish & Game (CDFG) and Butte County Planning, shall avoid all birds of pray or migratory bird nest sites located in the construction area during breeding season while the nest is occupied with adult and/or eggs or young. The occupied nest shall be monitored by a qualified wildlife biologist to determine when the nest is no longer used.
